Bug in Portable FF with some extensions

With a normal installation, everything is ok.
Only the portable ff versions exhibit this behavior.

Make a clean installation and change two parameters.
a) Restore tabs from the last session
b) Don't load tabs until selected

Install the CopyAllUrls extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copyallurls/

Change the option and add title before URL.

Now open some different sites and restart FF.

Click on Edit -> Copy All Urls -> Copy
and paste the result in an editor window.

Result with normal installation

Title Tab1
Url Tab1

Title Tab2
Url Tab2

Title Tab...
Url Tab...

with portable ff I get only

Url Tab1
Url Tab1

Url Tab2
Url Tab2

Url Tab...
Url Tab...

I don't know why but it is not possible to
access
gBrowser.browsers[i].webNavigation.document.title
it's always empty.
Only
gBrowser.tabs[i].label;
works.

I think I have more bugs in many extensions because of this.
I'm using Win7 x64 and I have checked the last 5 versions of FF.

[Bug]

Please add a [Bug] to the beginning of the thread title so it will show up in the official bug tracker and less likely be missed.

Not Us

There's nothing we alter within Firefox that would affect an extension like that. Remember, Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition has an unaltered copy of Firefox inside. So, if an extension is having issues just because we run it with the -profile switch, then it is either a bug in the extension or a bug within Firefox itself.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

That's strange. I've tested

That's strange. I've tested it with a fresh installation of Windows 7 and the portable version has this bug in the installed version is working as expected. Perhaps it has something to do with the cache. I have to test it.
